If plymouth-devel pulls in too much dependencies, then there is almost no alternative than to make a subpackage for the X11 renderer. However we could of course also place it in the main plymouth package with the other renderers. This might be easier than to create a subpackage and have users guessing which package is required and which not.
Raymond, You did quite an awesome work, so, you do have my gratitude for that, I've always defend plymouth in openSUSE; you were one of the artisans which make openSUSE a much experience for me... Regarding having it with the other renderers is maybe a bad idea: 1) will increase the size of the initrd with a file that is useless in the context that the initrd is used; 2) will most likely be provoque some unwanted sympthoms. On his package is maybe overkill, but it's the most sane thing to do considering the system itself; for users its nice to be around... I'll add this to plymouth wiki page and a small howto with my script to test themes ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
